HOW TO HOTHIIR A SriKT.U’F.
Dr. J s, having just finished “digging
his potatoes,” thought fit, a few day# since,
totn.ke an attempt to raise himself a little in
he world, and for this purjiose, with the aid
of a ladder, he ascended to the roof of a barn,
where k* was exerting his talents in the verv
ludablo business of nailing shingles. In
this situation he received a visit from an ofli
/•er ol the law, for the purpose of arresting
sis body by virtue of an execution remaining
unsatisfied. The officer made known the ob
ject of his visit, and not perhaps, duly consi
dering the difference between the situation
of a man on a bqrnawi a man on the ground,
stepped down from the ladder. Whereupon,
•be Doctor forthwith drew the ladder up to
the roof of the barn, and being seized with a
sudden til ol industry, fell to shingling incon
tinently, observing that he had no time to
■ome down, and that if the officer had anv
;*articular business with him he had better
ome up amt attend to it—at the same timd
utterly disclaiming any obligation on his part,
to furnish said officer with a ladder for that
purpose. The officer remonstrated—the doc
tor shingled. The one tcovld not come down
—-the other eovJtl not get up; and as there
is something ralhcr peculiar in the position
v<f these two parties in relation to each other,
it may afford matter of curious speculation,
to leave them in that position—so they are
accordingly left.— Yeoman'* Gazette.
YAMvIVT TRICK.
Some time since, the water of the M ississ
ippi fell quite suddenly, and many vessels
whose crews were not sufficiently on the alert,
grounded at the levee at New*.-Orleans.
Among them was a brig belonging some
where “ down East,” and it was deemed by
almost every one that it was utterly impossi
ble to float her again. The captain, however,
was “ up to a thing or two,” and according
ly, without communicating his intention to
any one, repaired to the pastor of the Mari
ners’ Church in that citv, and requested him
to lioid a Bethel meeting on board his vessel,
the ensiling Sabbath. This request, was ac
cordingly complied with. The Bethel flair
was waiving at the mainmast head of the brig,
and the congregation was rapidly assembling.
Yt this time the stern of the vessel was on
tirel v out of water, although her stern was a
float, the bank being steep. A teinporarv
stand had been created abef* the binnacle for
file minister, and the sailors naturally took
i heir station os near to it as possible. The
water was deep at her stern, and the weight
of those on board inclined the qjane so much
that she slided gently off, and just as the ser
vice commenced, was afloat. The captain,
perceiving that his object was obtained, in
terrupted Ins pastor, by thanking him for his
assistance, and then turned to the audience,
and declared the meeting was dismissed.
M lien Dr. Franklin was to
the Queen of France, it was in company with
many other distinguished foreigners, who ac
cording to etiquette, knelt before her majesty
and kissed her hand. When the Doctor’s
turn came, he walked boldly up,and sudden
ly putting his arm around her majesty’s neck,
gave her a hearty smack on the cheek, at tin
same time exclaiming, “that’s the Yankee
fashion!” It is said the Qu’ccn was highly
pleased w ith the salute, although so different
from that to which she had been accustomed
to receive from foreign ministers.

On Sunday evening last, about 8 o’clock, a
quarrel took place, on some trivial matter, be
tween Hainan 11. Marks and Lewis Washington,
two young men of this place, which resulted in
the death of Mr. Marks, who received a fatal
wound by the discharge of a pistol from Wash
ington, loaded with buc k-shot, and which entered
a little below the breast of Marks. The deceas
ed survived but a few minutes, aud without speak
ing a word. The usual inquest was held on the
body of Marks, the verdict of which was,thafthe
deceased canto to his death as above stated.—
Washington was temporarily committed, and on
.Monday morning was brought before Judge C. B.
Strong, who, after hearing evidenceand counsel,
ordered him recommitted until Court.
It is a nice and delicate course for an editor to
pursue under such circumstances ; because it is
expected of him on the one hand, that the public
should know what happens; whilst humanity
and justice, on the other hand, forbid that any re
mark should be made, prejudicial to either party.
To steer clear cf error, we draw no conclusions,
by which the matter can be mooted, until a legal
investigation is had thereon.

The Committee on Public Lands, to which 1
was referred the bill reported by the Committee
on Manufactures, to appropriate for a limited
time, the proceeds of the public lands, made a
voluminous report; which was read in the Sen
ate on the 21st inst: It condemns the bill re
ported by the Committee on Manufactures, and
exhibits a great variety of alleged errors of rea
soning and of calculation in the report of that
Committee; and recommends a reduction of pri
ces, end acceleration of sales.
I lie conclusion of the report recommends that
the bill reported by the Committee on Manufac
tures be amended so as to reduce the price of the
public lands to a minimum of one dollar per acre,
and of fifty cents per acre on such lauds as leave
been in the market above five years, and to strike
out the whole of the present bill, except, the clause
which allows 10 per cent, to the new Stales, and
to increase that to 1.5 percent.

A large portion ot the present Number is devo
ted to articles of this character. A long and fa
miliar acquaintance with tl,o reading appetite of
not only our patrons, but of the community gene
rally, luts taught us to believe that they are fond
ot such at least of an occasional repast—after
repeatedly pouring over long and tedious docu
ments of a political or statistical caste. We have
given room to the latter in a greater degree than
we formerly did, because we had to keep pace
with the proceedings of Congress, and with other
domestic intelligence. We shall now endeavor
to return to the good old way, of variegating our
columns “ with the very spices of life.”
In to-day’s paper will lie found Nimrod Rue/:.
*Jrin, Esq. I, e t not its length, (too long however
lor a weekly newspaper,) deter the reader from
encountering a perusal of it. It embodies much
tri m real />/,■ —and to our Yankee readers [for to
their credit, with our gratitude therefor, we have
many of them] we imagine we see their gratifi
cation, with some of their excellent policy £ prin
ciples—exemplified by the fruits of their free
schods and systems of education, in the Yankee
School.Mistress, now Mrs. Ruckskih.
The article is perhaps too severe a satire on
some of our Southern notions and manners
v hioh we jwss over with silent disapprobation
not, however, without admitting that there is a
great deal of truth in “ fancy’s sketch.”
Lot us read the character of the elder Buckskin,
and view as we ought, the admirable traits which
are delineated in it, and wc must not only admire
him, but we arc irresistably led to regret that
there arc so few modern Buckskins : yes, the no
ble stock has near gone, and we have fearful
forebodings that even the scion has gone his
“ long journey from off the earth,” and left but
few germs of by-gone excellence and virtue, and i
all those cnobiing qualities which were synony
mous with the Buckskins.
By the way cf parenthesis, the best thing wc '
ever knew Mr. Calhoun to have said, and it cer
tainly was very good—was a sentiment which lie
once delivered in ‘ a cup of red wine,’ at the altar
of Virginia hospitality, and in honor of him. It
was when that gentleman’s reputation was at its
zenith, and high expectations were in keeping for
him : he was then great' in the time, and in pro
spective. He “ rose like a rocket, but fell like a
stick.” YY e have digressed, the Toast we were
aiming at, which was perhaps thusi ‘
like the mother of the Grarci—when asked for
her jewels, she pointed to her son®.” This etas- !
sica! and beautiful sentiment, is again brought tu ’
our notice, in the contemplation of Nimrod Buck
skin, who fills cur mind’s eye, as one of the sons j
to w hich a mother might so happily allude.— |
Buckskin! O, Buckskin! let thy spirit he with’
us, and from its efficacy, may our country remain
in peace and honor.
Nimrod Buckskin, taken altogether,is calcula
ted to elevate tiie Y anker character, and defends I
them from some of tile aspersions which arc be
stowed on them ; nor can the most untiring op- j
posrrs of them, but admit, that with “many
b- irus in their eyes,” the Y'ankres (and particn
■r y the well-educated Y’ankee wife,) have the 1
to constitute an interesting and useful
people, \V e have gone into a more elaborate pa* |
negyric of the Buckskins and the Eastern folk,
than wc designed in the commencement of this j
article—bnt, in reviewing, in our mind’s eye, the j
younger Buckskin, and his interesting Katha
rine, wo have been w illing and forcibly led to
remark as we have doue. Some of our Y ankee
but Southern,sej ladies, will feel an inexpressible
but very gratifying pleasure in seeing their min
iatures in “ our folio of four pages.” We are i
1 sure they will fancy the concluding feature,
lin which they are complimentary referred \
! to, and not invidious, as the grey •. It does
j not seem poetical or chaste, to compare a lady to
i a “ g rt 'y nag,” but the intention is high-wrought,
] praise; for it is a prooerbiclism, that “a ship, a
j woman, and a race-horse,” are the handsomest of
j all created beauty.
Poland.
I he fall of Poland ts at length decided, which
must elicit the sympathy and regret of patriots
all over the world. That brave nation, endeared
by the memory of Pulaski, Sobieski, Kosciusko,
and legions of others is now blotted from the
map of Europe ! and we regret to say, thalliopes
of emancipation, are forlorn and distant. “ The
decree of the Autocrat has gone forth which declares
that Poland is forever united with the Russian Em
pire, of which it forms an integral part.” Thus
the blood or patriots have flowed in vain ; and
the prayers ot freedom’s votaries throughout the
universe have been unavailing! Bnt—to quote
the sorrowful plaint of the Pote H (timer,
“ Theie’s a destiny in this strange world,
That oft decrees an undeserved doom ;
Let schoolmen tell us why.”

Dimirccttuii— Niilliflcnelnii S
At Ilie Aoi'tli !
We present our readers this week with an ex
tract from Mr. llezekiah Niles’ Register,—
in which, it will be seen that that great champion
of the Tariff—its very Goliali—is up in
(we were almost prepared to say) —armsf against
Mr. McLaue’ft Report, proposing a modification
of the’TarifT. Let us who live in the warm South,
view the calmness and dignity with which the
veteran Niles combats this report—and learn from
his examplary fortitude and submissive humility,
how to “bear our burthens!” “for they are
light!!”
It has also been customary with that gentle
man, and the whole Tariff party cf which he is
their head and organ, to endeavor to impress the
belief that we are clamorous and disaffected
subjects of the government, without cause—that
the Tariff is a blessing to us, and that the y who
advocate it, and w ould entail it, are the benefac
tors of the South ! and the only pure patriots,
and real intelligences which the country fur
fishes. Such language, or to its effect, has come
forth so often, and frequently, with all the pro
testations of honest hearts —that one.Would half
conceive himself in error, in the exhibition of en
thusiasm for our good, by the Tarillites. ]Jut
what will the honest and candid think, of all that
has been said in favor of the Tariff, and that it
is not oppressive, after the more conceding part
of the Tariffites have recommended, and submit- 1
ted a more conciliating.//*// tj JUjovtinations— that
hilt has been met with opposition so unrelenting
ami inveterate, as “ to cry atom! and scare not.’*
“ Honest George liremer,” never more jealously
thundered for the rights of the people, thin has
Mr. Niles, in sentorian and disaffected appeals ;
invoking- that the misnomered American or Pro
tective Nystehi, shall be rivetted on us forever !
Hat read his emphatic and poisoned language,
and say if it does not “go the whole hog” to
ward nullifying our interests and ourselves.—
Surely he is mad ! [very angry] in saying—
“ For Our own part, we would rather sit
down, and coldly ‘ calculate the vain ■ of the
Union,’ than accept this unjust, and aliomina
ble-*-this ill digested and conflicting—this
British pauper feeding, and American pauper
making, scheme. But, and if it shall pass,
through the force of party discipline or from
other causes, among them possibly British
Cold—it will soon he repealed by the united
operation of at least a million of musket hear
ing Irecmen—whose * nullification’ is exter
mination ; who have full power to do all that
they will, in the work of ‘ reform.’ Let there
be peace ; let the people instantly meet in
every State, county, city, town, village cr
hamlet* and sav ft)their representatives,THlS
BILL SHALL NOT BECOME A LAW.”
“Hung be the Heavens in black!” These
sentiments, if they had come from the South,
would have been Considered at the North, worse
than double rectified, 4th proof Nullification!
But, allow that Mr. Niles lias lost his equani
mity of temper, and has exceeded the bounds of
wisdom and moderation—yet, we find that his
party follow in his wake, and not only sustain si
milar doctrines, hut are now at active work, sti
mulating and provoking to a rebellious disposi
tion, their misguided minions, satellites and vo
taries ; as will he seen from some extracts which
we give below, from an address “ to the citiza. s
ot Pennsylvania, published by order of the Penn
sylvania Society for the promotion of Manufac
tures and the Mechanic Arts,” —in which we find
the following introductory sentiments:
“Fellow Citizens.—The secretary of the
Treasuary (and it is understood, with the
sanction of the administration,) has brought
forward a bill, lessening and destroying this
protection, which is intended to effect a re
duction of the revenue, and at the same time
to satisfy the complaints and clamours of the
south. It will fail, for some time, to attain
the first ol these objects, and may not accom
plish the second ; hut in one tiling it will he
too fatally successful, viz: the ruin of many,
and the serious injury of most of you, who,
tinder the faith of the government, have in
vested your fortunes in manufactures ; while,
j at the same lime, it strikes a serious blow at
i one of the largest ugricultutal interests of the
j country, uud brings poverty and desolation
to the doors of the labouring classes.
Fellow Citizens—Labourers—You, whose
1 only capita! is the mental and bodily powers,
| and the health and strength w hich God has
| given you, view this bill in its true light; it
! is an attack upon your wages! for remember
| that a withdrawal of protection is a reduction
j and stoppage of your means of subsistence.
If the object was to lessen the revenue,and
| it was found that the repeal of the duties on
the articles outproduced in this country did
not bring the national income low enough,
l the system of protection might have been
j extended, and the revenue reduced by the
j suppression of the importation of many of
j those which interfile with the products of
your labour. Instead of this, the protecting
j duties arc reduced or repealed, and foreign
; products and foreign manufactures are to be
! admitted to occupy that market which you
have possed for years—you are to give way,
1 that the foreign artizan, labourer and ngri
i culturalist may be supported.
1 We call upon you to examine this scheme,
i and to assemble in public meetings, to re
monstrate and protest against the passage of
this bill—your voices enacted the protecting
system ; by your voices it can be sustained ;
let them he heard by your Ilepresentativ es,
and all will yet be well.
The Address proceeds next to interest “ the
Farmers and Wool Growers”—and, tniraldk dic
ta sets out by saying that there are 20,000,000
of sheep in the United States, worth $ i0,000,000,
and that an annual crop of wool fro-.n said quan
tity of sheep, of 2 1-2 pounds each, at 10 cents
per’pound would give $20,000,000. This amount
enjoys a protection of 4 per cent. Now by all
that is wonderful, such a protection, is deemed
high and amounts to an excessive tariff! The
address to this class of people, closes thus :
“ A°u form a large majority of the people ;
your interests art* inseparably connected, with
manufactures, and the Protecting System is
your system. House yourselves, or it will be
overthrown.”
The “ Manufacturers of Wool and of Cotton,”
are then interested. Then comes a salutation to
the “ Manufacturers of Iron,” ir. this manner:
The reduction of duties on your products,
although touched with a more sparing hand
than that of others, well deserves vour atten
tion. Others are first chosen victims—hut
you cannot calculate upon an exemption from
a similar fate. Resist this tariff, if you
would rctaiu us friends those whose interests
arc now joined with you.”
A arimis other trades are addressed ; hut we are i
compelled, to* Want of more room, to close this
article, with the conclusion of the “Address” to'
the “ Mechanics, Artisans and Laborers :
“ U'ugc.v are the standard of a nation’s
prosperity,and the measure of a people’s hap.
pincss. Dependent upon the successful pro
secution ol manufactures, tlm effects of tins
hill upon their rate is a highly important con
sideration to you. Read the foregoing re
ductions of diuies, and the loss of protection
to your employers, and to the results of your
!al>>.-, and ask yourselves it your wages can

Public Improvement.
Our attention is again sensitively drawn to this I
subject. From the article vvnicJi is herewith ai I
pended, it will be Seen that a neighboring state is I
vigilant and spirited in her local Improvement I
Already South Carolina is exerting her enemies
to increase her internal trade, and to facilitate and
cheaper,, transportation to and from the interior
and such rs the progress of improvement, that sJ
has made a very successful commencement to
ward consummating her aim. Indeed, t |, a
Charleston Bail Hoad promises to be in active ami
perhaps complete operation early in the next >e „
In the mean time, it will be observed that’pj ‘
bama shows an intention of enlisting other inte>
eststo her marts, by way of rail roads.
We have frequently endeavored to stimulate
our citizens the citizens of Georgia, to g 0
ward in the cause of Internal Improvement; but
the invocations and warnings of our humble gelt,
are but as “ chaff before the wind they fall 0 n
the ear, r.n ptmant . We should be glad to
action ’ action ! more the watchword, as well ia
public improvements as in politics.

The citizens of our town met on Monday
j anti Tuesday last for the purpose of takinir
some steps preparatory to a survey of a route
for a Rail Way from this place to‘some point
on the Coosa River, and also for one from
tins place to the Chattahoochee ltivcc at IV
lumbtis. Of course, until these surveys are
made, but little can be said as to todr prac
ticability and expense. It is, certain, how
ever, that they would connect very fertile tlis.

o the means of conveying immense quant.,
ties of produce to our markets, which now
ti'.'l othc r ehanne is, and through them other
markets. \\ e arc not sfficiently acquainted
with the country to make any calculations as
to what amount of produce would be trans
ported througii the contemplated Rail Road.
Hunt all the accounts which we have heard
from a variety of sources, be not exaggera
l too, then this would be an excellent oppor
(unity lor the invcstmc?,t of capital in this
wav. W e hope to be enabled before long to
speak more knowingly, as it is the intend; n
nl the Messrs. Nichols, gentlemen eminent
ly qualified, from their high character, and
scientific attainments, to survey the several
tracts that have been suggested, and ton port
the resutt. This is a matter that concerns
the people of this town vitallv. No man
i oan lui f n a estimate of the effect that would
j he produced upon the value of real estate in
j this place, it these Rail Roads were put into
* successful operation. We venture to say,
( that then, there would not even be a single
, acre of land within ten miles distance of this
i place J nit whose value would be embraced.

how this matter stands between’the tv>o Hou

early in the session, in both Houses,differing
in their details, but having the same general
object, the bill ot the House occupying a
wider ground than that of the Senate.' Each
House has taken up mid passed its own bill;
and the bill of each House is depending in

first; but the Senate, objecting to the extent
of it, preferred its own bill. The bill which
lias now passed the Senate is substantially the
same as the same as that which passed the
House of Representatives by a large majori
ty at the last session, hut at too lattTa day for
the Senate to act upon it. If the two llou
ses should disagree now upon the relative
ment of the details of the two bills ; it matt
happen that though hilts, have passed both
Houses, neither will become a law.
